AIA, NCARB, Licensure and Citizenship

A.I.

This may seem like a stupid question (I hope it's not).  I honestly don't know the answer and haven't found any literature requiring citizenship, but I figured I'd ask here.

A friend of mine wants to know if you must be an American Citizen to:

-Join the AIA

-Open an NCARB Record

-Record IDP Hours

-Take the ARE

-Become a licensed Architect in the United States

-Or all of the Above

This is a good place to start:

From what I understand, you can open an NCARB Record and begin the IDP process.  It will come with more red tape than someone from the states, but I'm certain your friend will be able to get licensed.

For the AIA, start here:

I don't know much about this program, but others on this forum might be able to help.
